PowerEdge C Reviews

We primarily use the solution for supporting our internal applications.

So far, the product has made us more efficient in terms of energy usage and space usage utilization.

It does basically everything that we need it to do.

The compactness of the solution is its most valuable aspect.

We found the initial setup to be straightforward. 

The solution is stable. We haven't had any issues. 

It is possible to scale the solution.

Technical support has been helpful. 

The reliability needs improvement. We have had some issues.

The issue is that Dell's no longer selling this product in the near future. It's almost the end of life.

We've been using the solution since 2018.

The stability has been good. We haven't dealt with any bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

While it is scalable, we haven't had the need to do so just yet.

We're a construction company and we have about 60 users at this time. That includes project managers. 

Right now, it's probably running at 60% capacity. We're not going to increase usage.

Technical support has been good. We are satisfied with the level of service on offer. 

We're currently looking at refreshing the hardware.

We had Dell rack-mount servers previously. We switched for space utilization.

EMC is our storage. That's not the Blades. The storage is the Unity box that we have.

The initial setup is straightforward and not overly difficult. It's a simple process.

The deployment is fast. It took us over a weekend. 

We had two personnel that handled deployment and maintenance. 

We handled the implementation process ourselves. We did not need any integrators or consultants.

In terms of ROI, it's performed and done what we expected for the price that we paid.

We pay a yearly licensing fee. It's comparable to others on the market.

There are not any other additional costs other than the licensing fee.

We did evaluate other options. 

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten. We're pretty happy with its capabilities. 

PowerEdge C is used in both corporate and industrial settings.

One of the main features that attract customers to buy their products is the great management tool and almost zero failure rate, making it easy to use.

As far as I'm concerned, the current product works perfectly fine and I don't see any issues with it. The newer products may have additional features, but for my current needs, the current product is more than sufficient and I don't think it requires any enhancements.

We have been with Dell for 10 years.

PowerEdge Cis a very stable solution.

The scalability of PowerEdge C is very good.

We have the capability to scale up the infrastructure as per our requirements.

We have more than 100 customers using this solution.

We currently have a team of 22 people responsible for deploying and maintaining the entire infrastructure.

Technical support is very good.

They offer round-the-clock technical support, and we have many other resources available as well since we are the top-ranked provider. Our resources include pre-sales support and a team of technical staff based in India.

We work with Microsoft. We partner with Dell and HP.

We are a provider of Dell enterprise solutions, including servers, storage, as well as commercial laptops and desktops.

The initial setup is straightforward.

The deployment process took approximately one hour.

The deployment process is tailored to the customer's specific needs, whether it's for normal infrastructure such as servers and storage or for more complex hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions. 

The deployment is a straightforward process at both the OS and management levels, and we haven't encountered any issues.

The return on investment (ROI) for our solution is very good. We provide ROI sheets to our customers before finalizing the deal so that they can review them.

Despite the slightly higher price, we prefer Dell due to the high quality of their products.

HP is a little bit lower in terms of price.

Customers may have additional requirements and may need to purchase licenses for certain features to use with this infrastructure. These licenses are typically bundled with our solution.

We are recommending Dell.

I would rate PowerEdge C a ten out of ten.

The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect for our organization. We really like how user-friendly it is.

The management is excellent and also very straightforward.

The security of the product is very good.

We found the pricing to be quite fair. It's not overly expensive.

The upgrades for the solution are very good. It continues to add useful features to the product with every new release.

Overall, it offers a lot of good features for the industry. I don't recall any that are lacking per se.

We had a few minor issues with compatibility on the latest version during the installation process.

I've been using the solution for eight to ten years at this point. It's been almost a decade. I've used it for quite a while.

The solution is quite stable. We don't have issues with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's quite good.

The solution scales very well. If a company needs to expand it, they can do so easily.

The organizations we work with vary in size and it scales to meet any organization's needs. Some have thousands of users, for example.

Technical support has been very knowledgeable and responsive. They're good. We're satisfied with the level of service they provide us.

Positive

The setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly complex in any way. The product's servers are easy to install. You can install it easily on VMware if you want to.

There were a few minor issues with compatibility, however, other than that, it was a good experience.

The cost of the solution is reasonable. It's a good selling point for Dell. They keep it competitive.

We're Dell partners. We have a business relationship with the company.

We're using almost the entire series. We use a variety of versions of the solution.

Overall, I would rate it at a nine out of ten.

I use PowerEdge C for our clients. Our clients need new servers, and I configure them based on their needs. When the clients buy the server from us, the configuration on-site depends on their needs. It might be a basic configuration or an advanced configuration.

PowerEdge C is the best server I have worked with. I like that it's user-friendly. PowerEdge C performs very well.

It would be better if it worked with SMTP servers on the cloud. Right now, it only allows notifications via the SMTP server. In the next release, I would like to have a better processor. 

I have been using PowerEdge C for about five years.

PowerEdge C is a stable solution. 

On a scale from one to five, I would give PowerEdge C's stability a four. 

PowerEdge C's scalability depends on the client's architecture. It also depends on the manufacturer. 

On a scale from one to five, I would give technical support a four.

Positive

I have worked with HP, and I can see the difference quickly. PowerEdge C performs very well. 

The initial setup depends on the needs of the client. It will be straightforward if it's a rack mounted server or something similar. It will be easy to find the architecture of implementation on the rack. For rack mounting, it takes me about 15 to 20 minutes to implement this solution. It will take more time to implement if it's something like an iDRAC configuration, installation of the operating system, some other configuration, or virtualization.

I implemented this solution.

The cost depends on the configuration.

I chose PowerEdge C based on feedback from my friends, colleagues, and other companies. I tested it and found that it was a perfect product for me.

I would tell potential users to find the manual online and go through the information.

On a scale from one to ten, I would give PowerEdge C an eight.

We use the product to incorporate infrastructure for our virtualized environment.

The hybrid solution is much more stable than other products.

CMC needs different storage in the blade server, like a three-tier architecture. It would be better if the solution provided simplified storage and hardware with an integrated one-tier architecture.

I have been using the solution for eight years.

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

The modular part of the product is scalable, but the storage is not scalable. I am the only person using the product in the organization.

Earlier, the technical support was from the UK or the US. There used to be a good flow to the technical support. Nowadays, they revert our calls to countries like India and the Philippines, where the technical support is not as good.

Five years ago, we could get a specialized guy to handle everything. When we open a case for the hardware now, the support personnel pushes the technical person to get the job done rather than help us troubleshoot.

The initial setup was straightforward.

It took us almost one week to implement the solution. The vendors sent a specialist to configure the hardware on the back end. After that, they gave us some pointers, and we housed every piece of hardware.

While deploying the solution, we must check the licensing to understand where to install the application. We can configure the solution if we have little knowledge about it.

I don't have any issues with the hardware. We provide the scope and specifications to the procurement team. The decision to choose a product is made based on the proposal provided by the vendor to the procurement department.

If the product suits their need, people should use it. If they’re looking for a new technology to simplify their duties and responsibilities, it would be better if they choose a hypervisor. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

I use the PowerEdge C server for the VOIP phone systems, and some other applications to save time.

PowerEdge C is compatible and a good solution for me.

I like the feature that allows for a backup and that is suitable for me.

The current memory could be improved.

I have been working with PowerEdge C for the past three years.

The stability is very good for PowerEdge C.

There are no current issues with scalability and we have four hundred individuals in the company. All of them are currently using PowerEdge C. We are going to increase usage in the next two years and expand.

I used IBM before switching to PowerEdge C. The price point is exactly what I needed and the product is good so I switched.

The installation was straightforward and easy to setup.

I installed it myself in fifteen minutes for the server and the container server.

We definitely are seeing a return on investment and we are making money.

When we talk about pricing it is the cheapest on the market that I have found.

I would encourage individuals who are looking for a simple and easily maintained solution to choose PowerEdge C. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate PowerEdge C a ten.

PowerEdge's iDRAC feature is the most valuable feature.

An area where the product lacks and needs to consider improvement is by allowing it to integrate with some AI tool for monitoring.

In the future, I would like AI integration and iDRAC to improve.

I have experience with the PowerEdge C for a year or two. My company is involved in system integration. We also sell different servers and PowerEdge C. My customers use PowerEdge R740, PowerEdge R7450, and PowerEdge R760. My company has a partnership with Dell.

It is a stable solution.

Technical support is good since they support us 24/7. I rate the technical support an eight to nine out of ten.

Positive

I haven't used any solutions previously since I was in network and security for a couple of years.

The initial setup is not complex. It's a user-friendly tool. It will only take three to four hours to implement it. An installer and a solution engineer are required to implement the solution.

For my deployment services, deploy it on-site with the MOP approved by the customer.

PowerEdge C is a reasonably priced product, and the pricing depends on how many years you need the product. The cost also includes the support.

I recommend the solution for small to enterprise-sized clients.

It is easy to integrate with other products in general. Even the solution's interface is intuitive.

I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.

We use the solution to host VMs and install our clients' operating systems on the servers.

They should improve the solution's RNA process.

We have been using the solution for five years.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution. We have four customers using it.

The solution's customer service could be better. The support partners and distributors delay in replying to queries.

The solution's initial setup process is easy. It involves mounting servers and upgrading the values. Afterward, we need to install and deploy it on the server. The time taken for deployment depends on clients' requirements. If they want to install the solution on the operating system, it takes an hour. But, in the case of complex configuration, it takes more time.

We buy licenses for the solution's advanced features, including iDRAC and support.

I advise others to look for more affordable and better solutions than Dell. I rate it as a five.
